Their response: "They pay you half of what you deserve. You aren't killing yourself. They are taking advantage of you, and you're a slave to the army...now leave." (source, translated from IDF radio via rotter)

I feel bad for the people in Tel Aviv that have to put with up with this leftist garbage on a daily basis...and even worse for the IDF soldiers who wanted to visit the nightclub.

The faster the nightclub owners leave Israel, the better for everyone. Go somewhere peaceful, like Gaza.

Interesting. The club is called Rogatka. That is the name given to the slingshots that the Palestinian terrorists use to throw rocks at Israelis. the name became popularized during the 1st intifada in the late 80s.

As to the club not wanting IDF soldiers - I wonder how they'd feel if they were targeted, G-d forbid, by Palestinian terrorists, just like what happened to dozens of clubs during the last terrorist war a few short years ago. Would they object to IDF soldiers going out to catch those terrorists?

Annie - you're right. But it seems that if the Palestinians did hit the bar - they would blame Israel. These people are nothing more than the equal to Nazi collaborators - and if this establishment is not boycotted and shut down it will lessen the credibility of the Israeli government. This is truly disgusting, and I believe a good look into this clubs "books" is in order.

...anyone can visit the club on Yitzchak Sadeh street in Tel-Aviv, with any clothing style, except for IDF uniforms.

Needless to say then, Hamas terrorist fatigues would be just hunky-dory. (Given the name of the place, I imagine they'd even regard it as "cool".)

Here's a thought experiment: What sort of media attention do you think would ensue if a haredi-run institution open to the public denied entrance to people in IDF uniform?

Good question. Should they in fact be subjected to such an attack, I suppose the oppresive, genocidal IDF soldiers in the vicinity will simply have to respect the club's rules, and refrain from entering the premises to offer any assistance...

Btw, according to the information given here, this institution also boycotts all products coming from "settlements".

"Rogatka" is the Russian term, and it looks like the owner and staffs are Russian. Why did they come to this country? They do not like Jewish people. For one reason only: to get out from Russia. Russian Government freely gives in up the Israel Immigration Visa, including crime people too. Why does Israel Government not check their entry documents correctly? We need to correct a lot of mistakes made in the past, and revoke the citizenship from all people that are not Jews. Israel is maybe the smallest country in the World, and every Nation wants to have a piece from its land. NO WAY!!!

Maybe the issue is that the IDF do not really have dress uniforms. Maybe if soldiers put on some snazzy blazers like the Marines, or wear all white like the navy, the bar would cave in. It's good for business cuz it drives the women crazy.

Anyway, what's the point of going there? Full of Tali Pachima's friends. Yuk.

I think we need to make a point: how about a caravan of folks with IDF shirts--we go down, we all take tables, we put on our shirts---and when they order us to leave, we tell them to piss off. I'm a veteran of demonstrations--go ahead and hit me: I'll own your nightclub. This is a free country and I'll wear what I want to wear anywhere I want to wear it.

This makes me so mad and ill. What I would like to do is go and shoot up the place. But as a law abiding citizen I suggest that the Army sue the lefty-vegetarian owners and put the bastards out of business.
